Brank
Kotaii performs a shallow bow in the 'presence' of a superior.
As you wish.
He presses a few buttons on the underside of the large display, a detailed 3D holo-map of GSR territory appears in the air.

For the record, anything you view here today is strictly confidential, only to be reported to superiors should you deem it necessary...

For months our forces have been getting into position and tracking GSR movements. More button pressing. The map changes to display VSA fleet positions nearby to the territory. We have determined that their defences are weaker in these areas. Some systems in the GSR territory are highlighted. Naturally we chose the weak spot furthest from any reinforcements for our staging area, though your co-operation may change things...

My superiors have had a contingency plan should another nation enter a war with them, simply being to invade from the opposite side of their frontlines, take them in a pincer. The map changes again, the VSA fleets disappearing, now only displaying GSR space. With you on our side, a grander stratagem is surely possible. So, we're open to suggestions.

    Soundbust11
    Hmm... The GSR is Completely Surrounded by Strong Fortress worlds, and the weakest borders an Ally of theirs, The Kel-shir. I Say we conquer Some Kel-shir territory, Then attack the GSR From All sides. Though if possible, we could negotiate with the Kel-Shir to allow us through their borders.

      Brank
      We'd rather not start any unnecessary wars while simply making preparations for another. Diplomacy seems the best option here.

        Soundbust11 Yes. Another Option is To Attack One Spot with Everything we have, while you Yourself Send As Much Of your Navy as You can to One of the Spots that has been left Partially Undefended, Then We Rip Through the Innards of GSR Space.

          Brank
          That plan certainly is a lot simpler, though a lot more can go wrong... suggest we leave that as a plan B, in the event that the Kel-shir are unwilling to assist us.

          As they discuss, the map changes accordingly with the plans put forward, suggesting force movements and further strategies. It's clearly the work of an AI of some description, as no organic mind could come up with and display such data in real time.

            Soundbust11
            Very Well. SO It is Decided. We will Ally and Defeat the GSR in the times ahead. Good-luck.
            The Call Ends.
            "I Am Ready to take my Leave. I nned to get back to my ship. Goodbye."
            He Stands, Preparing to get back to his ship.

              Brank
              One last thing; there's a small chance that my superiors will disregard this stratagem altogether, dismissing it as xeno trickery. It's unlikely as they were waiting for an opportunity like this, but still a possibility. The final call isn't mine to make after all. Kotaii gets up and offers his hand. May your path bring you luck in the Kel-Shir negotiations.

                Soundbust11 He Shakes His Hand
                "Goodbye"
                He Leaves. Once he is on His ship, It undocks, and Hyperspaces out

                  17 days later

                  Soundbust11 a bit on the edges of the territories, a small ship warps in, then 2 more. All seem to be around 300 meters, around a frigate. They have a glossy outside with blue and white paint and weapons seem null in void, as well as a heavy shield

                    gearshift48
                    Almost instantly, a small fleet Switches into their position. Three 5km cruisers with a pocket-carrier, alongside several dozen 500m corvettes.

                    You are trespassing in VWP space. State your identity, affiliations and intentions immediately or face destruction. We will not hesitate to open fire.
                    //Transmission End//

                      Soundbust11 “we are a research detatchment from the impernia core, here exploring for other unknown factions. Intention to map out what we find”

                        gearshift48
                        //Transmission Start//
                        Understood, we can provide you with our border locations, though any detailed mapping of our territory will be met with death.
                        //Transmission Start//

                        Soundbust11 “very well, any help is appreciated and borders will be respected.”

                          gearshift48
                          //Transmission Start//
                          A map detailing their borders is sent, spanning hundreds of stars with varying levels of development.
                          Be advised your identity has been logged in the fleet network. Any further crossing of our borders will be regarded as intentional and will be terminated immediately. Any attempts to remove this log will be seen as an act of war.
                          //Transmission End//

                          Soundbust11 ship warps away, though a lsmall electrical storm is left barely as big as the ships, seems to be giving of a odd code of sorts.

                            gearshift48
                            Most of the fleet Switches away, leaving several corvettes to investigate. The code is scanned on all possible methods known to the pact.

                              Soundbust11 it turns out to be a radio signal, to somthing.

                                Soundbust11 it links up to a com system in a semi- nearby crimson legion fleet

                                  gearshift48
                                  //Transmission Start//
                                  This is the Vaiaelon Space Armada, this radio frequency was left in our territory after some explorers warped out. Explain why.
